Available now. The BMW i7 is EGT's workhorse for executive transportation. Discreet, refined, and universally respected. It's the vehicle that says you value quality without needing to announce it. 536 horsepower, 318-mile range, a 31.3-inch curved display, and the quietest cabin in the sedan segment. Ideal for airport transfers (SAN, LAX, SNA, CBX, CRQ), business meetings, dinner service, and daily executive transportation. The i7 is the right choice when you want elegance without excess.
Best for: Airport transfers, 1-2 passenger executive travel, business meetings, dinner dates, client entertainment, discreet VIP service.
Available now. The Rivian R1S brings American-made electric SUV capability to EGT's fleet. 835 horsepower (the most powerful vehicle in the fleet), 321-mile range, and the most versatile cargo configuration of any luxury SUV in the car service market. The R1S handles families, golf outings, Temecula winery tours, beach day gear, and everything in between. It rides higher than a sedan and has genuine off-road capability — though your EGT chauffeur keeps it on paved roads.
Best for: Families, golf outings, cargo-heavy trips, Temecula winery tours, groups of 4, beach day transportation, adventure-style luxury.
Coming soon to EGT. The ESCALADE IQ-L is the long-wheelbase, all-electric Escalade — the most commanding vehicle in the luxury ground transportation market. Approximately 750 horsepower, 450+ mile range (the longest in the fleet), a 55-inch diagonal LED display, Super Cruise hands-free driving, and a rear cabin with 44+ inches of legroom that rivals a first-class airline suite. The "L" variant adds critical rear cabin space that makes this vehicle purpose-built for chauffeur service. The Escalade nameplate carries 25 years of cultural weight — now with zero emissions.
Best for: VIP arrivals, corporate statements, weddings, executive group transportation, high-net-worth clients, maximum-impact occasions.

EGT operates a 100% electric luxury fleet in San Diego. Currently available: the BMW i7 xDrive60 (executive sedan, 536hp, 318-mile range) and the Rivian R1S (premium SUV, 835hp, 321-mile range). Coming soon: the Cadillac ESCALADE IQ-L (flagship SUV, approximately 750hp, 450+ mile range, long wheelbase). All vehicles are TCP-licensed, chauffeur-driven, and zero-emission.
Each vehicle serves a different purpose. The BMW i7 is the executive sedan — refined, quiet, discreet. The Rivian R1S is the premium SUV — spacious, versatile, capable. The ESCALADE IQ-L (now in fleet) is the flagship — commanding presence, massive rear cabin, the ultimate statement vehicle for VIP arrivals, weddings, and corporate transportation.
For airport transfers, the BMW i7 xDrive60 is the default — quiet, refined, sized for 1-2 passengers with luggage. If traveling with family or extra cargo, request the Rivian R1S. When available, the ESCALADE IQ-L will be the premium airport transfer option for executive arrivals where maximum presence matters. Call (858) 585-6957 to book or request a specific vehicle.
Yes. Call (858) 585-6957 and specify your preference — BMW i7, Rivian R1S, or (when available) ESCALADE IQ-L. Vehicle availability depends on scheduling, but EGT makes every effort to honor your request.
EGT is built on the belief that luxury and sustainability are the same thing done right. Every vehicle is 100% electric: zero tailpipe emissions, whisper-quiet cabins, instant torque, and the most advanced technology in production vehicles. The ESCALADE IQ-L extends that commitment to the full-size flagship SUV category.
Pricing for ESCALADE IQ-L rides has not been finalized. Given its flagship positioning, ESCALADE IQ-L rides may carry a premium rate. Final pricing will be announced when the vehicle enters service. Book today at (858) 585-6957 to be notified first.

EGT is not a platform. When you call (858) 585-6957, an owner answers. That level of accountability does not exist on any app. It exists at EGT because EGT is boutique by design: fewer clients, higher standards, zero compromises.
